It should be noted that unlike in Super Mario World, 3-Up Moons can now move around, much like the 1-Up Mushrooms, and they roll like a Super Acorn.

The moons are found most frequently in Boost mode. The GamePad player will see a box with the moon symbol on it. The moon will not appear on the TV until the GamePad player taps it. It will disappear after a short time and must be tapped again. The Wiimote players must hit the block while it is visible and catch the moon as it rolls about.
